Shalwar sweetie for a lovely cheap outfit market prices do go into the East End if you live nearby. You do have to mix with poor people but it can be educative. Green Street near Upton Park Tube has a huge range of shops that will help. The trouser parts often have very large waisted bit which are difficult to get used too perhaps just wear a bright attractive top and wear with leggings of some sort.
Well done for trying sweetie .....

Bless you for your advice Gon, but you can actually spell it salwar too. There are many names and varieties of spelling. Never mind, sweetie. BTW, I'm well used to mixing with poor people, that wouldn't bother me. Not sure what that's got to do with Indian dress though.
